5 Reasons Why People Buy Android Smartphones

reasons-android-smartphones

A few days ago, we provided you a list of reasons why people buy iPhones. This time, we’re going to explore the other side of the coin which is Android smartphones. So if you’re one of those planning to switch or thinking of trying out a new mobile platform, check out our article below.

1. Plenty of choices

One of the major reasons why Android is the preferred platform is that it offers plenty of choices. It comes in all shapes, sizes, specs, price range, and brand, which makes it an attractive option to consumers with specific preferences. Whether it is a huge display size, big battery, good selfie camera, or premium build, Android has it.

2. Budget flexibility

Whether it is as low as Php1,000 or as high as Php40,000, there’s an Android smartphone that can fit your budget. Given this flexibility, you’ll also be able to control your purchase, like go all-in on a flagship smartphone, or skimp a little and buy two mid-range smartphones (one for work, one for play) instead.

3. Customizability and openness

You may criticize Android OS for its fragmentation, susceptibility to slow update roll-out, and limited Android upgrade support, but that can be attributed to its biggest strength which is its openness. Users can customize almost every aspect of its UI and, if you can access root and get your hand on some custom ROM, you can add features, improve its performance, and prolong its usability.

4. Android smartphones always get new tech

Water and dust resistance? Dual-rear cameras? High-capacity batteries? Modular-design? Android smartphones had it first. So if you like having the latest bells and whistles in smartphone technology, then keep an eye out for the latest Android device.

5. Competition

Competition is always good for the consumers as it lowers down prices and encourages companies to improve their products. Android is ripe with that. That said, you can expect smartphone brands to introduce new technology and features in years to come which makes the world of Android a lot more exciting.

And that sums it up. If you have something to add, let us know in the comments below.

  1. TOP 4 lng dapat. kasi yung no.4 meron sa iphone 7plus


    • “Android smartphones had it first.”
      the iphone 7 plus did not have said features first.


  2. Less hassle when syncing files from computer to phone and vice versa, ability to download music and files directly to phone.


  3. Because Android featured phones are made to be hacked. You can install any third-party apps (apps that are not in the Official Market, Play Store), in short “People love Android because of APK.”


  4. Im using my Ipad 3 anyway its IOS so huh mine not Android. Android device(not secured) IOS(Secured) and we have money to buy it. ????????


    • Who asked you? Yan na yung argument mo? Ma-justify mo lang yang mahal na bili mo dyan? Di mo nga ma-explain yang meaning ng secured at not secured mo. Anything has a vulnerability. Try looking up icloud-gate. Malay namen na credit card lang pinambili mo dyan or installment. Marami pa naman sa paligid ang may pambili ng iOS device pero wala naman pang-load.
